[QUOTE=The99Cat;92795]Hi mate. I did the olci route and worked for me. You don’t have to go to a local college to get fully qualified at all – I completed my NVQ3 with olci and have done a Part P and wiring regs courses as well, all city and guilds. Should suit you if you don’t mind carrying on in your old job for a while, you do the training practical part in several 2 or 3 day sessions. It took me more like 9-10 months though, so stuck at my old job during that part to keep some money coming in.
Fully qualified electrician in 9-10 months and not working as an electrician for all of the time that is good going well done.
It took me 5 years to complete a full appenticeship and get all my quals inc National Certificate I must be a slow learner
